"Nina Jankowicz"

"Scary Poppins". Pay that. Here in Australia we call her opposite number the E-Karen. She's actually an American, who got the boot when Elon bought Twitter.

Despite the quality or lack of, of the document, you cannot deny America's slide towards autocracy and it's inappropriate attempts to control academia as one part of that.

Apparently she was the Disinformation Fellow at the Wilson Center. How can this possibly be an academic subject suitable for a Fellowship? I have applied in the past for a couple of low value research grants in my medical specialty (unsuccessfully), and it can be a bit of a cozy cabal of mutual peer review. Ruling out studying the climate, energy, poverty and equity, are all important subjects to study regardless of which side of the fence you sit. The old system could be improved and much more transparent without knee-jerk authoritarian respnses by Trump, presumably taken on the spur as many decisions seem to be.
